Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor on the HBO show, performed in front of thousands of university students on his Rave of Thrones tour.

However, police received numerous complaints about the noise and the Irish actor had to turn the bass levels down.

David Whitmore, who lived near to where the performance took place, said: "We were subjected to very loud beat. It sounded like a rave.

"It was so loud it could be heard above our television despite all our windows, which are new and are designed to seal against noise, being closed.

"When I contacted the police they said they had been inundated with complaints."

The actor, whose character only says the word 'Hodor' on Game of Thrones, performed at the University of Sussex on Sunday night.

After his set he posted on Twitter: "Great night in Brighton at #ussu #freshers #tent #hodor".

Sussex Police confirmed that the received complaints about the event which was attended by some 2,000 people.

A spokesperson said: "We had some calls about the noise.

"We also had calls from the organisers to let us know that they were having a party with a capacity of 2,000 and had been liaising with environmental heath, had high levels of security and it was due to go on until 1am.

"We did have a few calls from people saying: 'What the hell's going on?'

Sussex Students Union insisted they had complied with licensing conditions and music levels were monitored.

Mr Nairn, 38, has been an important character since the first season of Game of Thrones and plays Bran Stark's loyal stableboy.

***WARNING: SPOILER ALERT***

However, earlier this month it was revealed that Hodor and Bran were having a "year's hiatus" and would not be appearing in the fifth season.

In an interview Mr Nairn said he would use the time off from the show to "gallivant" around the world and concentrate on his DJ work.

Speaking to Yahoo!, he said: "We have a season off and we have a year's hiatus, solely because I imagine our storyline is up to the end of the books.

"So, I get my year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world."
